Volley Founders Max Child and James Wilsterman - Voicebot Podcast Episode 36

Max Child and James Wilsterman are co-founders of Volley, a
company that makes games for Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
The Volley games Song Quiz and Yes Sire currently hold the number
1 and 2 rankings on Alexa. Volley also recently graduated from Y
Combinator’s Winter 2018 program and has raised over $1 million
in seed funding. Max was formerly an iOS developer,
journalist and worked for Boston Consulting Group. James was a
co-founder of Streak Trivia which held once-a-day trivia
tournaments on iPhone and Facebook Messenger. Both Max and James
graduated from Harvard and Max proudly lists himself as a
Stanford Business School drop out. Volley traces its origins back
to 2013 but it wasn’t always all about voice games. In the
beginning, they were developing games for mobile and innovating
around games that could be played solely within mobile
notifications. This week's interview covers everything from
Volley's founding and the duo's past experience with games to
what makes a good voice game and how to capture new users.
